About Hof Pfaffendorf Organic Dairy
Hof Pfaffendorf Molkerei GmbH & Co. KG is a family business in Südliches Anhalt (district of Pfaffendorf) that emerged from the LPG Tierproduktion Edderitz, LPG Pflanzenproduktion Gröbzig and the ZBE Schweineproduktion Görzig. The company combines dairy farming, arable farming and milk processing at one location: the raw milk is processed on the farm, fresh on the day, without long transport routes. The product range includes organic whole milk (short-time pasteurised, non-homogenised), organic yoghurt, organic cheese (butter cheese, brine-cured lactic cheese, Camembert) as well as hand-ladled whole-milk quark. The cows are fed exclusively with organically produced feed from the farm's own cultivation with a pronounced cultivation of legumes and are on pasture for at least 120 days a year. The products are available in more than 70 shops in Saxony-Anhalt, including Naturata, REWE, Kaufland and EDEKA, and are delivered to schools and daycare centres in Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony through the EU School Programme. Farming follows the strict ecological guidelines of the EU organic regulation (certification body DE-ÖKO-021).
